Kouta just stopped the best opportunity to take Baron out of the equation, simply because of assumed moral superiority.

Why should heroes who think that way need to be punished? I disagree with Baron's ideology, but I don't hope for Zack and Peco to die cruelly just to prove a point.

Besides that is practically the norm for a majority of heroes. Rider itself is full of them, Fourze, W, Wizard, etc. Even Ryuki was a morally principled hero in a dark, dark world. It's not just a staple of Toku, it is a staple of everything involving a "hero" in pop culture. And it's a very popular line of thinking, "the ends do not justify the means". You may disagree, but Kouta is not arrogant for thinking that way, neither are most heroes, unless they use this reasoning to specifically be smug and superior.
